Poponcini Full Cheek Running Gag Bit

The Poponcini Full Cheek Running Gag is an ideal bit for a horse that prefers plastic to metal mouth-pieces, but could still be considered strong. The running gag action engages poll pressure in the horse, encouraging it to lower its poll and react more severely to the rider’s aids.  

This bit can be used with two reins, allowing the rider to adjust pressure between the gag rein and snaffle rein according to how the horse is feeling. The full cheek makes it ideal for young horses or horses that don’t turn as well as they should, by putting pressure on the opposite side of the mouth to the rein the rider is using to turn.
